Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a physician to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives by improving their health and well-being. Establishing my own clinic allowed me to provide truly patient-centered care, focusing on prevention and long-term health. Seeing my patients achieve their health goals—whether managing a chronic condition, improving their well-being, or gaining confidence through weight management—fuels my passion for medicine every day.

Hello! I'm Dr. Marcelo Ernesto Brito Telles, a dedicated family physician based in the Lewisville/Carrollton/Denton area. With a passion for providing patient-centered care, I established my own clinic -Lakepointe Primary Care- with the goal to promote wellness and preventive healthcare for individuals of all ages, making sure each patient receives the personalized attention they deserve. As a healthcare provider, I have firsthand experience with GLP-1 medications, such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, for weight loss management. These medications have proven to be effective tools in supporting patients struggling with obesity by promoting feelings of fullness and regulating appetite. I have seen positive outcomes in patients, not only in weight reduction but also in improvements to overall health, including better blood sugar control. With proper medical guidance and lifestyle changes, GLP-1 therapies offer a promising approach for long-term weight management. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate effectively with a diverse group of patients. Whether you're in need of a routine check-up or managing a chronic condition, I'm here to guide you on your health journey. I look forward to partnering with you for a healthier tomorrow! Treatment philosophy: I believe in providing compassionate, patient-centered care that focuses on the whole person, not just their symptoms. Building strong relationships with my patients is key. I engage with them actively, listening to their concerns and involving them in their treatment decisions. My core values center around empathy, respect, and empowerment. With extensive experience in family medicine, I specialize in managing chronic conditions and preventive care. I am also committed to serving underserved communities. Through education and support, I aim to help my patients achieve their health goals and improve their quality of life. Together, we can foster a healthier future.

I became a therapist to help others grow and educate people on how to be their best self. I had a childhood full of struggles and constant transition so I know what it's like to feel like you have no control. I know that we all have testimonies but I want to be the visionary who sees the opportunity to change and grow, in spite of what has happened.

I have worked with people transitioning in life such as a new job, marriage, blended families, homelessness, and the symptoms they manifest as including anxiety and depression, addiction and much more. I have been providing individual and family counseling independently for 7 years. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics which has given me a wealth of knowledge in how your eating habits can also affect your mental well-being. My intention is to provide a structured and supportive environment for you to feel good about while meeting your goals that include a healthier mental and physical well-being. I look forward to working with you!

My life circumstances necessitated that I watch and pay attention for safety. I adapted to difficult situations by analyzing the scenario and implementing the best measures to resolve the conflict. I am an empath and a sensitive. I read the room by it's emotional energy and instinctively gravitate to the crux of an issue and am not afraid to peel back the layers and address the elephant in the living room. I am motivated to continue because I have studied for over 20 years how to address various maladies and obstacles. Nothing gives me more solace than to walk with people as they find their inner guide and wise self. Connecting with others in an authentic, vulnerable manner is not something that can be found in common social circumstances. However, in my profession, there is nothing trite or false- it is 100% real and meaningful.

I utilize various modalities from art, writing, inner child work, experiential practices and evidenced based techniques to address the obstacles that you want to focus on and be the version of you that brings you peace and satisfaction.

I initially did not have a desire to be a counselor until I started working with youth at a residential center. I found that I had a passion to help teens become their best selves and break the cycles of violence and abuse in their life to pave the way for a successful future. Since going back to school and practicing mental health counseling, I've found that I enjoy helping my clients find their "aha" moment. Life is hard no matter who you are, and I want my clients to feel that they are in a safe space to process anything that is causing them distress and do so in a judgement-free zone.

Hi, I'm Amanda 'Mandy' Schramm! I have been working in the field for eight years and providing therapy for three. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in Psychology from Sam Houston State University as well as a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. I have many years of experience working with adolescents in residential settings as well as inpatient settings. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults to help them navigate through life (it definitely doesn't come with a handbook!) and meet them where they are. One size does not fit all in counseling, so I pull from different approaches to provide clients with a unique experience tailored for them.
